snapcraft requested file bug report
Metadata
Current evaluation
Auto-filed report (snapcraft 2.43.1, Xenial): a keepalived compile failure surfaces a confusing FileNotFoundError from snapcraftctl set-version. No maintainer response; the snapcraftctl FIFO subsystem has since been removed.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The actionable snapcraft defect is confined to the snapcraftctl FIFO IPC path in snapcraft/cli/snapcraftctl/_runner.py, which no longer exists: a grep for 'function_call' in the current tree returns no matches, and ffb164b7a ('chore: remove snapcraft_legacy') deleted the implementation while eaadefa01 (#5983) made snapcraftctl a hard error for core26. The reported primary failure is a compile error in the reporter's own keepalived C source ('magic_desc' undeclared), not a snapcraft defect. The issue has zero comments, no labels and no maintainer response, and the reported 2.43.1/Xenial combination is many major versions obsolete.

Commit eaadefa01 removes snapcraftctl for core26, confirming the entire reported subsystem was retired rather than fixed.

Commit 9c622ecda 'pluginhandler: properly handle snapcraftctl errors' targets the same error-handling area, though I could not verify it addressed this exact FileNotFoundError.
